Can anyone give me advice...?

[Hanabi0]

I start my first year of middle school tomorrow... and I'm really nervous >_<
I'm extremely bad at getting homework in on time because i usually loose it or forget to do it... And I'm really shy, therefore I'm also bad at big projects i have to do in front of my class and stuff. And my best friend in the whole world moved when i needed her most! gonk
Shes going to a new school and i barely ever get to talk to or see her....
I usually get F's
but when the school year is almost over I usually get D's and C's .___.
I've never studied in my life but other friends say they don't really but they get B's and stuff!! And tutors never help me T____T
Cam anybody give me advice on how to do better this year? I might fail because my best friend that moved was always with me since 2nd grade.. >.<

Simply study.
If you apply yourself to the work, and focus to pay more attention, you'll do better.
If you keep telling yourself you're going to fail, you will fail.

Don't worry about other people and their grades. They aren't you. Everyone learns differently.

[A3elegance]

Just try studying some. Just because the people around you don't doesn't mean you shouldn't, chances are that it will help you. Different people have different minds. As far as the stage fright thing, try to make friends with some one who's good at it. Then they can help you, and you'll also have a new friend. It's a pain that your old friend had to move, but that's part of life. I'm sure you'll move on, even if you don't forget them.

Middle school is not hard at all. You really have no reason to be afraid.

Well I'll try to start studying.... but that is one big school.... and a few days ago we all went there to look around, and to find our lockers and home room
We was supposed to practice opening our lockers and i had a heck of a time with the combination >.<
I'm worried I'll either get lost or become tardy then get a... lunch detention or whatever they're called >.<

Lol, i'm going to middle school too.

i know exactly how you feel. to be honest its not as simple as just remembering it. you have to completely understand something to be able to really remember it well without much effort. say you have a hard maths formula, instead of trying to remember the formula try and understand why the formula works so that way you can see why it is used. that makes it much easier. and as hard as it is to say the best way to do that is to study. there really isnt a easy solution to it, some people are just able to see how something works so they remember it easily. and as for the shyness thing, well there is only really one way to fix that and i know its not what you want to hear and im sorry about it but the only thing to do is to just try to adapt and make friends. at first just start by trying to just say hello to a few people. chances are they will start a conversation and it may or may not go from there. just try to say a simple hello and that in itself may boost your confidence. you sound like a fairly nice person so i wish you good luck in this.

ohh and im sorry but im not sure what your system of schooling equates to over here so im not sure what sort of things you will be doing. im not even sure how far into school you are so i cant give much help in that regard.

About the making friends thing... I don't think i can because of all the rumors about me
People call me weird all the time only because i was a little hippie in first grade and always said "I love everything!! =D" ._.
And last year in 6th grade, at the beginning of the year people who kept doing it..... and which really upsets me is that the only way i can get them to stop with all the rumors is by being the class clown and always goofing off............. thats the only way everyone will stop making fun of me >.<

i understand how you feel. i had that for a good four years, and if the rumours are similar i know what kind of effect they can have. its really hard but i dont think that just acting the clown will solve it. to be honest the only way i can see it being fixed is if you ignore it or just say yea whatever to them really. and i know its easy for me to say this but i know how hard it is to actually put something like this in motion, it took me 4 years to do it myself but im afraid i think thats the only way. if you need a little bit of support the best way is to just get someone who isnt a rumour monger and try to be-friend them. i know its not what you want to hear but if im honest i dont think there is another way. im sorry i couldnt be more use.

Just apply yourself and ignore the people who spread rumors. People use to say I was a whore and a slut. None of it was true, but it did get annoying. Try to find a way that helps you learn. My middle school teachers always said go to them when you need help.

I've always wanted to go get teachers for help, but around 3rd and 4th grade everyone just called me a tattle-tail! >_< And that gets everyone to hate me....

Then they aren't worth your precious time on Earth. Those people are the most pathetic......er, nvm. Just go after school, or before school. You also might want to talk to a teacher for help academically. I would love s=to saty and help, but a friend who needs some serious help is downstairs.

GOOD LUCK.
